Chapter 312
She had read a bunch of novels and comics about soul swapping, where one personâs soul enters another personâs body and inherits the hostâs memones
But the new host didnât necessarily inherit the old hastâs memories right away These memories came back gradually She fired questions at him so fast, barely giving him time to think Only her brother could answer this question. Thatâs how she could tell if he was mally her brother
âYou were pushed down the stone steps by our nanny when you were hive Marcus had almost forgotten about this It reminded him of the nanny who used to take care of her. She was secretly abusing a child of Just a few years old
If it werenât for Briana getting hurt and sent to the hospital where the doctors found numerous scars on her body their family might have taken much longer to discover the abuse
âHow do you know?â Briana was almost convinced But then the thought of a passible coincidence and asked a second question, âWhat did you say to me on my tenth birthday?â Marcus rarely said sweet nothings directly to Briana but he knew her well. âI said I would take care of you, protect you, and make you happy for the rest of your lifeâ On Brianaâs tenth birthday, she was hoping her parents could come back to celebrate with her. She waited all day for them, only to receive the news of their divorce
The two no longer showed the deep affection of a mamed couple. They were openly with their own lovers. They had practically thrown the reputation of the Hartley Group to the wind
If he hadnât taken over the Hartley Group in time and taken decisive actions to change the companyâs image, the Hartley Group might have already been discarded by the world.
After comectly answering both questions. Briana patted her chest in relief, âPro, you know what? I was really scared that someone else was occupying your bodyâ
âHand me your phoneâ Marcus had to check her phone to see what she was up to all day
âEvo, donât blame me for being suspicious. Youâve been acting really different lately. Youâre eating chili peppers now, which you never used to eat. Doesnât that make one wonder if thereâs another soul in your body?â Even if he wanted to hit het, Briana wouldnât hand over her phone, âYou know a phone has all a personâs secrets. Iâm in my twenties now, you canât just go through my phone anymoreâ
She turned to leave, but seeing her brotherâs gloomy face, her legs went weak. Her brother was really scary when he was angry
âNo matter how old you are, whether youâre manied or not youâre still my sister, Briana Taking care of you is my responsibility as is quiding you away from making wrong choices. His voice was very gentle
Brana started to doubt him again
âBro, youâve really changed a lot!â In Brianaâs memory, her brother had only spoken to her this gently when she was small Ever since he took over the Hartley Group, he had never spoken to her like this
Marcus immediately became serious, âdelete all the mess in your phone if I find you looking at worthless stuff again, Iâll clean it up for you.â
Can she take back what she just said?
